...Eichi-kun, I hate to tell you this, but by the time you've learned to read or write, you've already learned that truth. I think everyone knew the reality.
Stories are important because they offer an escape from the truth.
[But this was probably unpleasant to read for people, wasn't it? It was better to change the topic.]

I'm telling you that it's difficult to understand that. I was never given that "false hope" so I simply lived believing that I would die very soon. The world is a cruel place, and I knew that from the start.
Well, but I don't truly understand what parental love is in that way, either, since my parents only care for me as their precious heir.
In any case, they can keep it. They already have it, so I'd rather not know any more about what they do with it.
